PerformancePoint Server documentation roadmap

Aggiornato: 2009-02-17

Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 documentation is published in three places on the Internet — Office Online, TechNet, and MSDN — because it is focused on three audiences: Information Worker (end user), IT Professional (administrator), and Developer. There may be overlap between the audiences. For example, the IT professional who deploys Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 may also be the person who helps users connect PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer to its data sources or who helps build MDX queries from a user's report.

To help you find the information that you need, this article provides links to PerformancePoint Server documentation by audience and publishing location. A description of the documentation is provided in a PerformancePoint Server documentation map (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=103091&clcid=0x409) on Office Online.
